Hand Arthritis? Simple Exercises To Maintain Hand Function

Arthritis in the hands is a debilitating condition that can turn even the simplest tasks into monumental challenges. The stiffness, rigidity, pain, and discomfort often interfere with daily activities and diminish the joy in the things we love to do.

While it may be tempting to ignore the early signs of hand arthritis, this approach can lead to a rapid decline in hand function and exacerbate the condition.

Instead, incorporating a few simple hand exercises into your daily routine can help avoid, and even reverse the downward spiral that so many suffer from in silence.

Understanding Hand Arthritis

When hand arthritis sets in, the joints in the hands, fingers, or thumbs become rigid, stiff, and sore, leading to reduced movement. This lack of movement often results in the calcification of the joints, which is frequently due to the fascia becoming immobile and lymphatic fluid building up. As calcification increases, the joints and surrounding tissues lose their ability to glide smoothly, leading to further stiffness and rigidity.

This creates a vicious cycle: the more stiff and rigid the joints become, the less they move; the less they move, the more calcification builds up, and so on. Without intervention, the symptoms of arthritis will continue to worsen.

So, how can we break this cycle?

Could Vibration Massage Be the Answer?

Absolutely. Our trials have shown immensely promising results, with approximately 80% of participants reporting reduced pain and stiffness after just 2-3 months of regular use. Vibration massage works in four powerful ways to halt the progression of hand arthritis, helping to retain and even restore hand function

  1. Increased Relaxation: Vibration massage helps the body return to a relaxed state by dissolving tension, stress, and blockages. This contributes to improved flow, healing, and restoration.
  2. Improved Blood Flow: Good blood circulation is essential for delivering nutrients and oxygen to tissues while removing waste products. Vibration massage boosts blood flow, aiding in healing and reducing pain and stiffness.
  3. Enhanced Lymphatic Flow: The lymphatic system removes toxins and waste products from the body. Blocked lymphatics can lead to a build-up of these substances, exacerbating inflammation and pain. Vibration helps activate the lymphatic system, ensuring pathways are open and functioning properly, which reduces swelling and supports overall health.
  4. Fascia Health: Fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs, can become stiff and immobile, restricting movement and contributing to pain. Vibration massage promotes healthy, pliable fascia, which is crucial for joint function and overall mobility.

The result? Joint glide and movement are restored, calcification can be broken down and expelled, hand function and mobility are increased, and pain is reduced. Remarkably, around 75% of our clients have also reported better sleep.

How to Use the Flow Orb for Hand Arthritis

The Flow Orb is a vibrating and oscillating massage ball designed to relieve hand arthritis symptoms by targeting fascia, lymphatics, and blood flow.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to using it effectively:

Step 1: Open the Lymphatic Pathways

  • Set the Flow Orb to Mode 1 (Vibration).
  • Place the Flow Orb in the crease of your elbow for one cycle (approximately 15 minutes). Hold it loosely, allowing your arm to relax. Resting your arm on a pillow can help keep your elbow, shoulder, and neck relaxed, facilitating the opening of the lymphatic pathway from the hand to the lymph nodes near the armpit.
  • Optional: For severe arthritis, place the Flow Orb under your armpit for an additional 15 minutes to ensure thorough lymphatic drainage.

Step 2: Target the Fascia

  • Switch the Flow Orb to Mode 2 or 3, designed for fascia. Choose the setting that feels best to you at the time.
  • Hold the ball with one or both hands for another 15 minutes. You may also move the ball around the most rigid and painful areas.
  • Relax: Allow yourself to fully relax. This enhances the effectiveness of the vibration and accelerates healing and pain relief.

Repeat these steps daily or as needed. You'll likely find that using your Flow Orb will provide relief and reduce stiffness almost instantly. But remember, it took years for the arthritis to develop, and any physical long term change will take time.

However, we've seen arthritis symptoms significantly improve or even reverse within 2-6 months of this routine, especially when combined with proper nutrition.

Pro Tip: Applying magnesium cream with turmeric to the inside of your wrist and other sore or inflamed areas before bed can further aid in pain relief and promote better sleep.

Additional Tips for Healing Hand Arthritis

  • Hydrate: Many arthritis sufferers are dehydrated, which contributes to the condition. Drink plenty of clean water.
  • Diet: Follow an anti-inflammatory diet. Identify and avoid foods that worsen your arthritis symptoms, particularly sugars, gluten, nightshade vegetables, and trans fatty acids like those in canola and seed oils.
  • Supplements: Consider supplements for vitamin D, boron, calcium, and magnesium. Research shows that 71% of arthritis sufferers benefit significantly from quality boron supplements.
  • Limit Alcohol: Alcohol can deplete essential minerals and nutrients, potentially exacerbating arthritis. Supplement with organic colloidal fulvic and humic minerals to avoid mineral depletion.
  • Stay Warm: Cold temperatures can worsen pain, so keep your hands warm, especially in winter.
  • Pain Relief: For intense pain, try UltraMag pain relief cream. It's a natural option free from binders, fillers, and preservatives, providing pain relief without adding additional toxins to your system.

Conclusion

Managing hand arthritis effectively requires a holistic approach that addresses the root causes of the condition, potentially halting and even reversing its progression. By using the Flow Orb to open lymphatic pathways, target fascia, and improve blood flow, you can reduce pain, restore function, and enhance your overall health.

Complement these practices with simple exercises, a healthy diet, and nutrient supplementation to maximise your recovery. Embrace this approach and take the first step toward a pain-free, more functional life today.
